The #OurLivingMemory campaign is organised by the Union of Jewish students and the Holocaust Educational Trust (HETA) for student leaders to “ensure the messages of the Holocaust are never forgotten.”

Jess Schindler-Glass, a committee member for the UEA Jewish society and second-year Psychology student, said: “I would like to highlight the importance of Holocaust Memorial Day for Jews on campus.

“It is a day dedicated to remembering those who were killed during World War 11, a defining part of many people’s Jewish identity”.

Another member of the Jewish society and second-year Medicine student, Alice Cepelowicz Lessa, said: “This applies to others who suffered during the events in World War Two, such as ethnic minorities, disabled people and LGBTQ+ people.

“It’s important for us to take a step back and reflect on our actions and how they affect others.”

“Peaceful coexistence begins in small communities such as our campus at UEA,” she added.

Third-year English Literature student, Daniel Box, tweeted his disappointment with the union.

He told Concrete: “I’m extremely disappointed that the SU have remained silent.

“Considering at Thursday’s Union Council we heard allegations that many Jewish students felt uncomfortable on campus, I was hoping for a concentrated effort from the Union to ensure that Jewish students felt protected and safe on campus.”
